Windows 7: BSOD playing Borderlands 2, multiple BSOD's

Whenever I play BL2... I get random BSOD's at random times. Sometimes I will get 1-2 for a 2-3 hour session, other times I will get them every 10 minutes or so. I have skype running in the background as well. I can play other games with no issues. I played a dozen plus hours of Homefront with zero crashes. Both Homefront and BL2 were played through steam. Any ideas?

Thanks. I have begun to try your steps. I have only been noticing this problem with BL2 and haven't had similar issues with other similarly graphic intensive games. I have uninstalled the catalyst center like you have suggested. I will run diagnostics, try BL2 again and will see if things work.

The reason why I had the Catalyst Center installed originally was because my monitor, LG W2353V-PF would not display (or maybe it's the 6950) the screen properly. There are margins around the screen, approximately 1" on the left and right and .5" on top and bottom. The Catalyst program allowed me to correct that.

Well validating the game files have fixed the non BSOD crashes but I'm still getting more BSOD's... had reinstalled drivers after wiping them out... all bios settings are at default... furmark runs fine, prime 95 runs fine... This is starting to become annoying
